The year of the great British staycation: Here's how UK regions are shaping up and what to expect
July 4 has been bandied about as the date when staycations will finally snap into action, although there have been mixed signals from the Government.
Boris Johnson has expressed an ambition to reopen 'at least some of the hospitality industry and other public places, provided they are safe and enforce social distancing' by then.
But trade body UK Hospitality believes this is all a bit wishy-washy and wants definite confirmation.
Tranquil: A view of Windermere in the Lake District. July 4 has been bandied about as the date when staycations will finally snap into action, although there have been mixed signals from the Government
Then there is the concern that two-metre social distancing is too much for pubs, B&Bs and some smaller hotels to operate effectively.
Whether that rule will change is still uncertain — and the answer could make a huge difference in Britain this summer.
There are also conflicting messages about how ready different regions are for tourism, which may make some potential visitors think twice.
Here is the latest from around the country, as tourist boards and hotels proceed on the basis that the July 4 ambition is realised.
NORTH EAST REOPENS
In the north-east, Northumberland and County Durham are slowly gearing up to receive visitors. Pictured is Barnard Castle in County Durham
Northumberland and County Durham are slowly gearing up to receive visitors, making (legitimate) trips to Barnard Castle a possibility.
Michelle Gorman, Visit County Durham's managing director, strikes a note of caution: 'I'm not entirely convinced that all of our tourism businesses will be ready for July 4.'
In Newcastle, tourism chiefs are even warier. 'Research tells us that for the majority of people, October will be when they have more confidence to take short breaks,' says Sarah Green of the NewcastleGateshead Initiative.
That said, many of the region's top hotels are reopening on July 4, including Malmaison in Newcastle and Ramside Hall Golf and Spa resort in County Durham (although the spa remains closed).
CAUTIOUS CORNWALL
There are tensions in Cornwall between those in the travel industry and some locals who want outsiders to stay away. Pictured is St Mawes near Falmouth
There are tensions in the county between those working in the travel industry and some locals who want outsiders to stay away.
The hope is that everything goes smoothly in July, although Tim Dwelly, the cabinet member for the economy on Cornwall Council, says: 'We think it would be better to support tourist business with grants . . . rather than have a summer season.'
Visit Cornwall's website puts it bluntly: 'Unless you can visit a location and return within 90 minutes or so, you should go nearer your home for exercise or to spend time outdoors.'
However, hotels including Hotel Tresanton in St Mawes, the Scarlet hotel in Mawgan Porth and the Fowey Harbour Hotel are reopening on July 4. And properties listed with Sykes Holiday Cottages and Cornish Gems are booking up quickly for July, which suggests growing consumer confidence.
YORKSHIRE READY
Historic attractions in Yorkshire, such as Whitby Abbey, pictured, will re-open on July 4
All Yorkshire's National Parks are already open for visitors, while historic attractions including Kirkham Priory, Middleham Castle, Scarborough Castle and Whitby Abbey will reopen on July 4.
Some accommodation is reopening on the same day, including the historic White Hart in Harrogate and the Feversham Arms on the North York Moors.
Others are waiting longer: Grantley Hall in Ripon, for instance, will not be taking guests until August 1. Family-run Yorkshire Holiday Cottages is taking bookings from July 4, as is High Grange Holiday Cottages.
COME TO THE COTSWOLDS!
Foxhill Manor, pictured, and Dorney House in the Cotswolds will be back in action on July 13
Andy Parsons, chief executive of the Cotswolds Conservation Board, says: 'Everybody is welcome to enjoy the Cotswolds, but we ask them to consider others, especially landowners and farmers.'
Cotswold Wildlife Park reopened on Wednesday this week. Hotels are staggering their reopenings, with Foxhill Manor and Dorney House back in action on July 13.
Holiday properties are being snapped up from July 4 from self-catering companies such as Independent Cottages and Manor Cottages.
LANCASHIRE LOOKS FORWARD
Blackpool Pleasure Beach is set to re-open on July 4 but visitors will have to wear face masks
Blackpool Pleasure Beach reopens on July 4, with mandatory face masks for visitors and rides cut to half capacity. Blackpool Zoo is back from June 29, with tickets available online.
Elsewhere, the Art Deco Midland hotel in Morecambe opens on July 4 and Northcote in the Forest of Bowland from July 29.
Rachel McQueen, of Marketing Lancashire, says: 'We would recommend trying to seek out places that are less well-known. Lancashire has lots of hidden gems.'
NORFOLK APPEAL
All of the waterways on the Norfolk Broads, pictured, have been open for two weeks
The Visit Norfolk website says 'now is the time to start planning to visit'. All the county's waterways have been open for two weeks, making boat trips on the Broads an option for weekend breaks.
The Globe Inn in Wells-next-the-Sea aims to reopen on July 4 (and is accepting reservations from July 1).
Self-catering cottages are still available this summer with Norfolk Cottages and Norfolk Broads Direct, which also offers boat trips on cruisers.
POSITIVITY IN SUSSEX
On July 4, Brighton Palace Pier, pictured, is set to re-open but with a reduced daily capacity
Brighton Palace Pier reopens on July 4, although with a reduced daily capacity, and pier bosses say they may ask guests to have temperature checks before entering.
Drusillas Park zoo and theme park, near Alfriston, partially reopens on June 26 and hopes to have all its rides running again in July.
Battle Abbey and the site of the Battle of Hastings both reopened last weekend, although the visitor centre remains closed.
WEST COUNTRY READY
Wiltshire and Somerset are primed for a bumper season but Stonehenge will remain closed for summer solstice celebrations
HOW SELF CATERING PROPERTIES ARE PREPARING
Most holiday lettings are accepting bookings from July 4.
Oliver Bell, co-founder of Oliver's Travels, says self-catering properties are 'drawing up enhanced hygiene checklists and an extensive guide for owners on how to safely reopen'.
He adds: 'We are encouraging owners to implement self-check-in and check-out through electronic key boxes or other means, and asking them to ensure no external visitors go to the property when it's occupied.'
In Wiltshire, Stonehenge is closed for summer solstice celebrations which would have taken place today.
It looks as if Wiltshire and Somerset are primed for a bumper season though, with people not wanting to travel as far as Cornwall planning shorter trips.
Of the better known hotels, the Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa in Bath is accepting guests from July 10, while The Pig in Hunstrete reopens its doors on Monday.
Cottage bookings are offered by Helpful Holidays and Toad Hall Cottages.
WELCOME IN CUMBRIA
Although there have been a few protests from some worried locals, the official message is 'visitors are welcome', according to Cumbria Tourism.
The Gilpin Hotel, a few miles from Windermere, reopens on July 4 and Lake District Country Hotels group is reopening the Cragwood Hotel, Merewood Hotel and Briery Wood Hotel on the same day.
Sykes Holiday Cottages says bookings in Cumbria are 'pretty strong'.
SCOTLAND, NI & WALES
Stricter lockdown laws in Scotland and Wales mean that taking a non-essential trip can still lead to a heavy fine.
The earliest Scotland could be reopening to overnight-stay visitors is July 15.
While in Wales it was announced yesterday that the country will reopen to visitors from July 6.
Ahead of the rest of the UK, bars, restaurants and cafes as well as hotels can all reopen from July 3 in Northern Ireland, though not all properties are sticking to that date.
The Lough Erne resort in Fermanagh plans a July 17 restart. The Europa in Belfast is waiting until August 26.
THE EXPERT VIEW BY ROBIN HUTSON, CEO OF THE PIG HOTELS
There are two conflicting influences for customers making the decision whether to 'staycation' or not.
On the one hand, there is pent-up demand to stay in the UK now that getting on a budget airline to a crowded Mediterranean resort looks less appealing. When we reopened reservations last week, we took 800 room bookings on the first day.
On the other, there is a natural caution from guests regarding safety. So it's our job as operators to build a trust that reassures them that we will be doing everything in our power to keep staff and guests safe.
We really don't need a civil servant rule book. We get it. We are used to keeping everyone safe, we do it every day with environmental health, food safety, fire safety, licensing laws, security.
I think the Government should concentrate on keeping the streets safe and let the hospitality professionals look after our guests.

The history of computers is deep rooted in the need by mankind to quantify basic tasks like additions, subtractions and multiplications. A controversial new research has proved that excessive playing of games can actually stunt the growth of a human brain. If you have a child that is a critical gamer they could steer you towards a chair that has the newest and greatest technological advancements in gaming. Vaio Match 11A does not even start to evaluate with basic laptops required for any engineering. You'll discover important programming languages like C, C++, and Java by means of nearly 80 hours of hands-on instruction, and get familiar with database management and other core concepts of computer science. The technique administrator for your server or sitting at the IT help desk most likely has a degree in info technology. If you have to use Simulation application, it is far better to get a Windows laptop than a Macbook for engineering. Resolution – Resolution is a measurement of the quantity of pixels that your monitor has.
If you are a teacher or other leader who has solutions for finding out that are currently functioning — like our wonderful Computer Science Education Champions of Modify — inform us about those innovations so others can adopt them and construct on your achievement. However, there are some specialized computer tools like an anti-static wrist strap which you use to steer clear of electrostatic discharge from damaging your computer. Qualcomm will collaborate with Virginia Tech to develop a Thinkabit Lab — part Maker Space, lab, and classroom — on its campus, with the purpose of supporting computer science education for middle college students in the region. Fixing a computer can be a straightforward task when you have the proper tools and books associated to Pc and laptop repair. Whilst arithmetic games stimulated brain activity in both the left and proper hemispheres of the frontal lobe. Even one thing as inventive as photography has a lot to do with computer science, as we'll see later.
I'm here from Carleton University to inform you about one of the biggest factors that I enjoy computer science: it connects to everything! Regardless of getting light the stand is strong adequate that it does not wobble at all even when I kind or accidentally bump by desk. Utilized with Viewsonic's LED backlighting technologies this monitor is capable to create more accurate grays and blacks. Note: I am an Mechnical Engineering Student and searching for laptop that are light, extended battery life and much less than $900. An additional excellent feature for this screen is that it uses significantly less than 45W although operating and has a green friendly power saving mode which uses less than 2W. Over time this will support you to recoup some of the expenses connected with acquiring a LED monitor. I've utilized this monitor even though playing games like Battlefield 3 and watching my movie collection.
Looking for the greatest computer chair for your weight is also crucial, make sure that the chair you will be purchasing can handle your body weight particularly if you are a heavy individual. Also, bonus: the 4k display top quality complements the subwoofer speakers that it has, creating it a ideal dorm room companion for watching movies and playing other games in the course of your free time. Exactly where on one hand the games do prove to be beneficial to an extent, at the same time, its ill effects can't be ignored.
It is very comfortable to sit on and will also help stop back pain specifically if you operate at a computer each day. The ideal place for assist when you can't go online is to study a book on computer repair to teach you how to repair, sustain, and troubleshoot your computer. In the late 1970's and early 1980's video games were accessed most typically in pizza parlors, bowling alleys, film theaters and arcades. Graphics may possibly be not as sharp as you would get with a computer with 2GB graphics adapter, but they will be more pronounced than the normal PCs that come with HD graphics. I will also list some books which must support you out on learning how to repair a computer with your computer tools.


In a frank and surprising personal story, which draws the reader in from the very first page, Paulo Coelho reveals how a grave crisis of faith caused him to go in search of a path of spiritual renewal and growth. In order to get close to God again, he decided to start over: to travel, to experiment, to reconnect with people and the world.
As the journey progresses, Paulo gradually emerges from his isolation, sheds both ego and pride and opens himself up to friendship, love, faith and forgiveness, unafraid to confront the inevitable challenges of life.

Mapping the melting pot: plotting historical census data on a map
April 9, 2014 Matt	Leave a comment
Our recently-launched interactive map is based on the 1881 census data, and offers facilities to search Govan's immigrant population of the day by surname or birth nationality. Each census record refers to an individual person living at a given address at the time of the census, with records grouped into households. These data, however, presented a number of technical challenges as we worked to plot them on a modern Google Map.
First, the geography of the parish of Govan has changed quite significantly over the years. While it might be unfair to suggest that Glasgow enjoys a propensity for tearing down its past, it is undeniable that large portions of the parish – which includes the entirely redeveloped Gorbals area in the south east of the city – has seen significant regeneration in the period since the 1881 census. So, the modern Google Map doesn't entirely resemble the geography to which the data refers. A straightforward part of the solution was to use the National Library of Scotland's excellent Historic Maps API*, which allowed us to layer a slightly more contemporaneous map (from the early twentieth century) over the jarringly modern Google version. This gives a more authentic flavour to the presentation, but does not address the altogether trickier issue of street names that have changed over the years.
The process of geocoding refers to converting a street address, such as those recorded in the census, into geographic coordinates, such a latitude and longitude, which may be plotted on a map. For this process to work, the Google Geocoding API, the service we used to generate our latitude and longitude values, must recognise the address. For those streets that had been renamed since 1881, then, our research team had to generate a sort of gazetteer that linked the original 1881 street names with their modern, Google-friendly equivalents. With this conversion done, we were ready to begin the process of geocoding.
Now, however, we faced problems with the sheer quantity of data: our original Govan dataset comprised nearly 200,000 census records, while the Google Geocoding API imposes a daily limit of 2,500 geocoding requests. Maths might not be my strong suit, but one of those numbers is significantly greater than the other. The solution was to first rationalise the data and geocode only unique addresses, since each address might refer to a six apartment tenement building with each apartment housing families of various sizes and compositions. Then, we had to be patient. A script was written to go off and geocode around 2,500 addresses at a time, and the script run each day until all of our address records possessed latitude and longitude values.
With the geocoding complete, the remaining challenges related only to determining exactly how we should present the data, and manually correcting some of the latitude and longitude values generated by Google. I say "only", but it is the finer points of how the map looks and feels that, arguably, require the most significant thought and discussion…
* An application programming interface (API) is a means by which a software-based service such as Google Maps may be access by other website and applications.

The Annual International Berkeley Undergraduate Prize for Architectural Design Excellence 2020
About the Prize
Essay Prize Competition
Community Service Fellowship
Jingni Wu and Xinxing Chen - Bio
Jingni: As an art student, my interests on social sciences always lead me to concern about the latest social issues occurring in my country, while exploring the art of architecture is another of my passion in the spare time.I was deeply drawn by well-designed buildings or artificial surroundings because I could feel that they actually exert a subtle influence on me. A room could smooth my mind and even build up a sense of security when I'm there.
Xinxing: I am an Architecture student at Beijing Jiaotong University, currently in my final year of the undergraduate study. In many research fields of architecture, public buildings and houses in China always caught my eye.
To further expand my knowledge, I took part in various competitions and academic meetings of architecture. I used to attend the International Solar Decathlon Competition and participate in the construction of an assembled aging house. At the International Sustainable Building Competition, I was awarded the Bronze Award as the leader of a group.
In September 2020, I will formally become a Ph.D. student at Tsinghua University. In my future research, my topic is going to revolve around issues concerning sustainable society and analysis of the digital city.
I've been thinking a lot that, except for delicate interior structures and magnificent exterior look, what other things a building could bring to its people as well as the city. The bricks-and-mortar industry may even be able to provide people with a soul asylum of noisy cities, which facilitates the recreation of community.
Through the lens of these two disciplines, I inadvertently noticed that there are some noteworthy problems emerging under the collapsing downtown area in the city where I live, for example, the elder care issues and the sustainability of the old town. It is my first time to realize that these old buildings are also a valuable resource that can be used to solve social problems in an imperceptible but profound way.

CN calls special shareholder meeting in March in response to request from TCI
MONTREAL — Canadian National Railway Co. has called a special meeting of shareholders for March 22 in response to a request from an activist investor unhappy with CN's bid for Kansas City Southern. British-based TCI Fund Management Ltd.
Updated Oct 4, 2021 12:05 PM
MONTREAL — Canadian National Railway Co. has called a special meeting of shareholders for March 22 in response to a request from an activist investor unhappy with CN's bid for Kansas City Southern.
British-based TCI Fund Management Ltd. is seeking an overhaul of the railway's board of directors and the replacement of CN chief executive Jean-Jacques Ruest.
Montreal-based CN says it remains focused on pursuing its growth and value creation strategy despite "TCI's inappropriate attempts to seize effective control of the company."
CN says it has already added three new independent directors and achieved gender parity among independent directors ahead of plan. It also secured a US$700-million break fee after abandoning its bid for KCS, which instead has agreed to merge with Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd.
TCI called for the shareholder meeting for the purpose of "refreshing'' the railway's board by adding four members that it has nominated. It has also proposed Jim Vena, former chief operating officer at CN, as a potential replacement to Ruest.
CN says TCI is in a conflict of interest because while it owns five per cent of the railway, it is also the largest shareholder of Calgary-based CP Rail.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 4, 2021.

BioSchwartz claims to have designed a potent formula that helps to promote rapid weight loss, rid your body of any toxins, reduce bloating and boost energy levels with its colon cleansing formulation. The product works over a period of 15 days by working to eliminate any waste build-up without any side effects.
In this review of BioSchwartz Colon Detox and Cleanser, we are going to analyze all the facts to help you make an informed decision before deciding to purchase this product.
Senna Leaves and Psyllium Husks are commonly known as a natural laxative that can help to clear up any waste build up. Flaxseeds are high in fiber as well as omega-3 fatty acids and contain anti-inflammatory properties. Cascara Sagrada and Buckthorn Bark help to promote a healthy liver and also acts as a natural laxative. Rhubarb is known to for aiding digestive conditions such as constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, stomach pain, and gastrointestinal bleeding. Glucomannan Root is known to promote weight loss by balancing cholesterol and blood sugar levels. This formula also contains Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Bifidobacterium which are commonly known as probiotics to help regenerate and restore healthy bacteria in the gut.
Unfortunately, BioSchwartz has not mentioned on the product packaging what the dosage is and when to take it. The ingredients above are based on a serving size of 1 capsule.
BioSchwartz has not mentioned if there are any possibilities of side effects but since this product contains a variety of laxative ingredients, diarrhea is to be expected. You should always consult your doctor first before if you have any allergies or have any known medical conditions. This product is not suitable for women who are pregnant or lactating.
Each bottle of Colon Detox and Cleanser contains 45 capsules and retails for $16.95 online. This product can be purchased directly from the manufacturer. We were unable to find any discounts available for this product.
BioSchwartz offers a satisfaction guarantee that covers you for 30 days from the date of purchase. You need contact the customer support center first in order to get approval for the refund.
We like that this product is covered by a satisfaction guarantee and that it contains no allergens or additional fillers and binders. With that being said, we still have some concerns. Most of the ingredients in this product have a laxative effect and it may not be very safe to use over a 15 day period without taking extra care to keep yourself hydrated. It is also concerning to see that there is limited information about the recommended dosage. We were also disappointed to find many negative reviews that had complaints about stomach cramps and that the product was ineffective for helping consumers to lose any weight.

Russian Navy's third Yasen-class submarine to feature advanced sensors
Russia will install an advanced sonar system on to the third Malakhit Marine Engineering Bureau-designed Yasen/Graney-class nuclear-powered attack submarine, SSGN Novosibirsk.
Construction began on the third project 885M Yasen-class submarine with a keel laying ceremony at the Sevmash shipyard near the White Sea last week, according to RIA Novosti.
Malakhit Marine Engineering Bureau said the new advanced sonar system will enable the submarine to detect enemy ships at an early stage.
The Russian Defence Ministry previously signed a contract with Sevmash shipyard for the construction of five Yasen-class submarines, to support Russian Navy's anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, surveillance operations and special missions.
Featuring advanced design, the new Yasen-class submarine's bow section will be fitted with sonar systems while the torpedo systems will be equipped in another part of the boat.
"The new advanced sonar system will enable the submarine to detect enemy ships at an early stage."
Additionally, a new power supply and acoustic defence systems have been designed and developed to enhance the submarine's stealth capability, while reducing noise.
Armed with long-range cruise missiles and eight vertical launching system tubes for cruise missiles, the submarine has a full load displacement of around 13,000t, can cruise at a top speed of 35k and accommodate a crew of 50.
Powered by a KPM-type pressurised water reactor and steam turbine, the 111m-long and 12m-wide Yasen-class submarines can strike against submarines, surface warships and land-based targets.
The Russian Navy is scheduled to receive the first Yasen-class submarine, Severodvinsk (K-329), which is undergoing a second sea trial, by the end of 2013, while the second submarine, Kazan, is under construction at the Sevmash shipyard in Severodvinsk, Russia.

Your fitness tracker may know even more about your health than you think. New research found that the heart rate sensors in wearables like Apple Watches and Fitbits can help detect early signs of diabetes with surprising accuracy.
Conducted by the heart rate tracking app Cardiogram and the University of California San Francisco, the study analyzed data from 14,000 fitness tracker users. When heart rate data from those devices was processed by Cardiogram's DeepHeart app, DeepHeart was able to identify wearers with and without diabetes with 85 percent accuracy.
The research was presented at the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence in New Orleans this week.
So what does heart rate have to do with diabetes? As Techcrunch pointed out, the 2015 Framingham Heart Study found that resting heart rate and heart rate variability — in other words, the variation in the time between heartbeats — can predict whether people will develop diabetes. Those findings inspired researchers to see what they could glean from the heart rate sensors in popular fitness trackers.
"Twenty-four percent of people with diabetes, and 88.4 percent with pre-diabetes, don't realize they have it," Cardiogram CEO Brandon Ballinger told MobiHealthNews. "We don't want to turn people into patients, but by catching diabetes early, we can guide people to convenient treatments they can perform in their everyday lives, like diabetes prevention programs."
This isn't the first time the app's researching has turned out some impressive health data. Last May, researchers again from Cardiogram and UCSF published a study in which they were able to detect hypertension and sleep apnea in users with over 90 percent accuracy.
There's still lots more research to be done, but it's safe to say the future of wearables will go well beyond helping you get more active.

I wasn't surprised when Texan Democratic Presidential Candidate Beto O'Rourke raised over $6.1 million online within the first 24 hours of announcing his run for President. Likewise, Bernie Sanders raised almost as much-- $5.9 million-- from 223,047 individual donors online. All in one day.
Listen, I'm not a fan of the "B Men": Beto, Bernie, Biden. I understand O'Rourke's energy and charisma and I admire his strong effort as a Senatorial candidate in Texas but I find it shocking that a man of no greater accomplishment than many of the dads I know can become a front runner against such accomplished women as Elizabeth Warren or Kamala Harris. But this is not not a political column!
No, this is a note about networking.
When I was working for John Kerry for President and the Democratic National Committee in 2003 and 2004, I had the dubious fortune of being part of a small cohort of people who figured out how to raise lots and lots of money through online fundraising emails. When these emails, written often in the voice of the candidate and sent to our opt in email list, started raising serious cash, it was revelatory.
Imagine a world where, instead of going to several tedious and time consuming rubber chicken fundraising events in a day, a candidate could have his junior staff blast out an email and raise the same amount of money! How much time and energy could a candidate save (and imagine, if you're an introvert, the amount of energy and stress you could save?
I was equally struck when Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she doesn't do "call time," the twenty plus hours a week most elected officials spend literally dialing for dollars. She trusts that the word of mouth her work will engender (not to mention the PR and attention she gains from it) will bring donors at a higher rate than dialing for dollars will. (Again, not defending AOC, but noting her methods).
We think about networking all wrong. We conflate it with the amount of effort we put in and the number of people we meet, rather than the content we create to move specific audiences to take a desired action, or the noteworthy quality of the work we do.
Last week a woman at one of my talks was exasperated. She has a startup, she explained, and she wants to find a technical co founder to join her team. "Well," I asked, "how are you searching for this person?" She explained that she was out networking every night, in hopes of meeting someone. But it wasn't working and she was feeling dispirited and overwhelmed.
I told her to stop networking, and start being strategic. Who does she know who knows great tech people? What's one organization she might connect with where there are people with technical knowledge who she could meet? In some cases, less is more.
How are you doing more with less when it comes to building your network? What's a piece of great content you can create that does your network building for you?

Would this major work for me?
For most students at SMSU, pairing an existing major and a minor or even choosing a double major gives plenty of opportunity to tailor their education to their particular goals. However, if your goals can't be fully reflected in our existing programs and you think a different combination of courses from two or more disciplines would work better for you, the Individualized Interdisciplinary Major may be a good option.
How do I create an IIM?
Read the guidelines for an IIM. You will need to understand the process and requirements for creating an IIM. If you need some help with this or have questions not addressed here, make an appointment with one of the academic deans (507) 537-6251.
Think about whether the IIM is a better option for you than a traditional major, and if you think it is, then consider what combination of disciplines and courses best fit your goals.
Once you have an idea of which disciplines and courses you want to include, identify two faculty members from at least two of the disciplines in your plan to possibly serve on your advisory committee.
Make appointments with these potential advisors and ask if they would serve on your advisory committee. If so, they will need to approve your proposal and sign the form on which you outline your plan.
On the Curriculum form, be sure to give a clear explanation for why the IIM is the best option for you. What does your plan do for you that a traditional major and minor would not?
Submit your proposal to the SMSU Curriculum Committee for approval.
How do I select my faculty advisors?
The courses and disciplines you plan to include in your IIM will provide you with some direction on this. In short, your advisors should be from disciplines that are represented in your degree plan.
For instance, if you've included quite a few courses from both Professional Writing and Communication and Agriculture, you would want to include advisors from those two areas. If you include some courses from Culinology and Art, then you would need advisors from those areas.
How do I decide which degree I need… a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts?
There isn't an exact science to this. One rule of thumb is if your major will teach you some specific skills for a particular type of career, you should choose a Bachelor of Science. Examples of disciplines that offer a BS degree include the Sciences, Agriculture, Business disciplines, Justice Administration, Social Work, and Hospitality Management.
A Bachelor of Arts is usually offered in disciplines from the humanities, fine arts, and some social sciences. For instance, Art, English, Theatre, Sociology, Music, History, Political Science, Psychology, and Communication Studies all offer BA degrees.
Some disciplines, like Mathematics, offer both.
One suggestion is to look through the SMSU catalog to get a better idea of which disciplines offer which degrees. If you find your plan includes a majority of course from disciplines that offer one degree over the other, then you should probably choose that degree.
What will my transcript say is my major?
Your transcript and your diploma will both have "Individualized Interdisciplinary" identified as your major.


Explores uncomfortable humanitarian and environmental issues, but these themes fail to harmonise with supernatural elements.
Set in a deserted seaside town in Greece in the midst of a global water crisis, Blind Sun is a wonderfully shot thriller which is unapologetically patient in its dedication to surmounting suspense. It's the ideal backdrop for writer and director Joyce Nashawati to explore uncomfortable humanitarian and environmental issues, but these themes fail to harmonise with the supernatural elements of the story.
Nashawati creates an atmosphere of desolated isolation by pivoting the plot almost entirely on Ashraf Idriss (effortlessly portrayed by Ziad Bakri), an immigrant care-taking a villa haunted by apparitions. The scenes of arid landscapes, derelict dwellings, stray dogs, corrupt lawmen and paranormal anomalies all emphasise the solitude of the protagonist, who predicts: "There's going to be a war. Or everything will burn." The biblical simplicity of the dialogue (which interchanges between French, Greek and English) echoes Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea and Cormac McCarthy's The Road, while the surreal intensity of the cinematography alludes to the work of David Lynch.
Arguably, the film's inability to integrate its complex critiques with its minimal style is its greatest folly: it's an apocalyptic thriller, filmed through an irresistibly nostalgic and halcyon lens. Like Less Than Zero and The Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis, Blind Sun should be understood as a dystopian snapshot into our populist present and frail futures. If we treat this feature with standard conventions, we risk missing its fable.


Our California Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) staff and volunteers continually work with beneficiaries across the state on cases of suspected fraud. In some situations, beneficiaries experience medical identity theft with their Medicare number being used to bill for services or items never received. Other cases may be a simple, honest billing error from a provider. Others involve scams like getting non-terminally ill beneficiaries to sign up for hospice care, saying that Medicare now pays for "housekeeping services". When receiving a case, our SMP works with the beneficiary to gather all the pertinent information to assess what happened, whether or not it was fraud, and to outline the steps to resolution and to whom, if necessary, to refer the case to for further investigation. Below are a couple recent SMP success stories.
Case #1 involves a beneficiary who, unbeknownst to her, had a walker charged to her Medicare number in 2014. When she recently needed a Medicare-covered walker, all the suppliers she contacted told her Medicare wouldn't cover it because she had received one in 2014. This is when she turned to her local Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP) for help and the HICAP Counselor discovered that a walker claim she never received had been submitted to Medicare back in 2014. Our SMP then took on the case and worked with Medicare's Ombudsman office and the Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) to further investigate this fraudulent claim. The MAC adjusted this false claim and had all monies paid back to Medicare, therefore cleaning the beneficiary's record of this claim.
Now, HICAP is assisting the beneficiary with filing her own claim to Medicare in hopes she can receive reimbursement for the walker she recently purchased when she was told Medicare wouldn't cover it due to the false claim.
If you or someone you know has spotted suspicious claims or suspects Medicare fraud, contact our California Senior Medicare Patrol at 1-855-613-7080. For more information, see our Medicare Fraud section of our website.

Just yesterday, Target upgraded this attack from 40 million credit cards to 110 million potential customers – including 40 million credit card numbers taken through a software swipe as described above, and a database hack siphoning off names, addresses, and email information from about 70 Million customers.
CNN/Money notes that there may be overlap – and there probably is. They also suggested that this might suddenly be the largest hack yet in retain history.
Target: Sales dropped 6% (this is top line revenue sales).
Who knows what their final income statement looks like…but I'm sure investors won't be all that happy.
What else will I cover today? There's lots to think about as we look out over the coming 11 months of 2014. Cloud momentum is picking up, BYOD projects are in just about every mid and large size company (even those who said they would never do it), and the "Internet of Things" is accelerating – everything seems to be online these days, collaborative software (including Google+ HOA) opens up all kinds of data-leakage challenges, and mobility and mobile payments are here to stay. I'll be covering the affects of these, where companies are going wrong, and what business leaders must do to change the tide.
